The Indonesian government stated that Chinese investors have lined up to invest in the Halal Industrial Park (KIH) in Sidoarjo, East Java, primarily in areas such as halal gelatin, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. For example, Chinese investor AminBio focuses on halal gelatin production, and Zhong Tou Investment focuses on halal pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Investment realization in this halal special economic zone still requires approval from President Prabowo, and the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs has submitted a draft government regulation, hoping to complete the approval process as soon as possible.
The Sidoarjo Halal Industrial Park is one of four halal industrial parks in Indonesia, with the other three located in Bintan (Riau Islands), Cikande (Banten), and Jababeka in the Jakarta-Bekasi area (West Java).
The Sidoarjo park covers an area of 796.65 hectares, of which 59.49% (473.96 hectares) have obtained building usage rights certificates. The committed investment in the Sidoarjo Halal Industrial Park amounts to IDR 97.8 trillion, with approximately IDR 451 billion realized so far; it is expected to create 317,670 jobs over 30 years, and has currently employed about 800 people. Indonesia aims to use this park to produce halal versions of products, targeting markets including Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE. It is expected to contribute IDR 844 billion annually to the Sidoarjo Regency's gross regional product and IDR 8.5 trillion to East Java Province.
